Wine and Dine
Restaurants and
Hotels around the lake are serving everything you might think off. The very typical
recipes of this region however, are not served in a lot of them because they are
often very simple and rustic. A well known dish is; “Älplermakronen” a hot pot
with Makronen (pasta), onions, butter, cream and cheese. If you have an
opportunity, try “Urner Gämspfeffer” (chamois) or “Unterwaldner Stunggis” a stew
with pork.
